Lyrics:

I’d recognise your silhouette,
Even through this lens of regret,
Always Oceans Apart,
A palace burning,
Shorelines broken and scarred,

At the end of this road,
That’s all she wrote,
At the end of this road,
Arriving Into the Know,

What part of us lives on?
In a world that defines strong,
Not in values or principle,
But by the power over others,

And that was all that she ever wrote..

Left blackened was my heart,
Right from the start,
Left blackened was my heart,
Broken and scarred,

At the end of this road,
That’s all she wrote,
At the end of this road,
I find you dreaming..

You’re already dreaming away,
You’re already dreaming,
I could not catch you awake

Lyrics:

Strangers,
We woke up with the strangest thought in mind,
We'd run away from home,
Pack our bags and leave a note behind, saying:

"Dear Mom and Dad, once you read this
I'll be miles away, and don't intend ever to return"

 And so the wind turned,
I adored,
Your courage, facing the storm and,
You said that true love is,
In the grass that kneels,
Tribal symbols,
Painted on our skin,
Marked our, allegiance towards,
What it once felt like,
To be truly alive...

Strangers,
We both knew each other by sunrise,
And we stayed out all night,
Drew the first contours of our sweet demise,

You said that you need me,
To come back from the dead,
Relight, these faded limelights, and,
You said that true love is,
In the grass that kneels,
You said that you need me,
To come back from the dead,
Honour the legacy of,
What it once meant to,
Be truly alive...

Strangers,
We both knew each other by sunrise,
Then we both headed home,
To hide from the shame daylight transpired,

Strangers,
We hide...

Lyrics:


It started out,
As something beautiful,
Can you still recall?

Bottled every tear,
recorded every breath,
That we drew together,

She suffered at home,
She suffered abroad,
She just wanted to lay,
In bed all day,

Unannounced,
Was the end of it all,
’Cause life tends to unfold

In ways that change you forever...


Who will look,
after me now?
Thought she’d never fail
(She wasn’t supposed to fail!)

All my hope,
Laid upon her,
She failed to adapt,

In ways that change you forever...


Remembering our year-long goodbye,
And the trail that ends,
suddenly,
At the Øresund-line,
I will be at the Waalhaven waterfront,
In less than a tenday,

Promised her apple trees,
sorbuses and gooseberries,
Told the Winter Garden won’t take care of itself,
